In this exciting new tutorial we’ll be creating a powerful explosion and shockwave inside of After Effects using elements from Action Essentials 2 and built-in effects. We will use Mocha to motion track the difficult shot and explore advanced blending and compositing tips. It’s a good 44 minute tutorial so tell your wife (or spouse)… it’s After Effects time.

I spent some time last week shooting cool macro footage with a Canon 5Dm2 and a 100mm macro lens. It’s amazing what you see at such close detail especially if you have some shiny objects to shoot. Also with the shallow depth of field, you can really create some interesting abstract effects.
It’s been quiet for a reason, we are launching an updated version of the website and working on this new plug-in called Atom. More info coming soon including a fun blog show later this week. Just watch out for giant monsters until then!!
